With a return fixture to come next week, Erasmus has rested a couple of key figures, with Siya Kolisi in the coaches’ box rather than on the pitch as he manages a facial injury. Argentina may therefore spy an opportunity to cause a shock — the hosts are full of confidence after producing a record win against Australia a fortnight ago.

Argentina beat the world champions South Africa 29-28 in an incredible test match at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades on Saturday evening.

South Africa are eager to seize the moment and clinch the Rugby Championship title in Argentina on Saturday, but are wary of a fired-up home side that are not out of contention themselves, according to Springboks loose forward Kwagga Smith.

Argentina secure a dramatic win against South Africa to stop the world champions from winning the Rugby Championship title with a game to spare.

Manie Libbok’s missed penalty with a minute remaining meant that Argentina continued their excellent Rugby Championship campaign by adding a win over South Africa to their record victory over Australia and triumph in New Zealand earlier in the tournament.
